The country's implementation of the "plastic restriction order" is to limit and reduce the use of plastic bags and curb "white pollution". Plastic shopping bags are consumables in daily life, and China consumes a lot of plastic shopping bags every year. While providing convenience to consumers, plastic shopping bags also cause serious energy, resource waste and environmental pollution due to excessive use and inadequate recycling. In particular, ultra-thin plastic shopping bags are easily damaged, and most of them are discarded at will, becoming the main source of "white pollution". At present, more and more countries and regions have restricted the production, sale and use of plastic shopping bags. In order to implement the scientific concept of development and build a resource-saving society and an environment-friendly society, effective measures should be taken from the source to urge enterprises to produce durable and easy-to-recycle plastic shopping bags, guide and encourage the masses to use plastic shopping bags rationally, and promote comprehensive utilization of resources. In order to protect the ecological environment and further promote energy conservation and emission reduction, the General Office of the State Council of my country issued a notice on restricting the production, sales and use of plastic shopping bags on December 31, 2007, which was called the "plastic restriction order" by the masses.
